Drafted by Vancouver in round five of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft (149^th overall), Gaudette has played a total of 220 games in the National Hockey League, split between Vancouver, Chicago, 50 games with the Ottawa Senators in 2021-22, and St. Louis. Over that span, Gaudette has registered  70 points (27 goals, 43 assists), while also tallying 134 points (77 goals, 57 assists) in 148 AHL games with Springfield, Toronto, and Utica.

Gaudette also represented Team USA at the 2022 IIHF World Hockey Championship where he picked up eight points (six goals, two assists) over 10 games. Prior to turning pro, Gaudette spent three seasons at Northeastern University in the NCAA.
